Eli Drinkwitz’s ballclub wrapped up spring practice on Saturday, March 18th, but Missouri’s head football coach was left searching for a new offensive line coach after the surprising departure of Marcus Johnson to Purdue. Word began to leak on Monday night, March 27th, that the Tigers had filled the position with veteran Brandon Jones, and the school made that official on Wednesday. Contract details have yet to be announced.

Jones arrives in Columbia after four years in Houston with Dana Holgorsen’s Cougars, a stint that ended this January when he was not retained.
